The Republicans are running on a Joke
or The Running Elephant Jokes
by Radfringe 11/1/06

Question: What does it mean when you see 3 elephants walking down the street and they are all wearing the same red sweater?

Answer: You find his footprint in the butter

Well, like John Kerry, I flubbed a joke. Should I apologize? According to
President Bush and the 2006th Tusk and Trunk brigade, I should apologize.

It's dire times. Darkness is approaching. Doom is near. Is a flubbed joke all that powerful?

Why are the Republicans making such a big commotion about a flubbed joke? Is this the attack of flubbed jokes? Has a flubbed joke emboldened the enemies to the point where we are now on red alert for bad comedy? Did the flubbed joke cause gas and fuel prices to quadulple? Did blowing a punch line send us into an economic depression and total collapse of the stock market? Should we worry that we are infected with anthrax which originated from screwing up a punch line?

So why are the Republicans all in a tizzy? We are 6 days from casting our votes which will determine who will control congress. According to polls, the Republicans are in serious danger of losing both houses.

The Republican campaign so far has been based on fear and smear. They have been busy making doomsday predictions of what will happen should the Democratic Party gain control of one or both houses. They have tried to scare us with "the terrorists are trying to influence the election". According to the Republicans, life in the universe will cease to exist if the Democratic party becomes the majority party in Congress.

It hasn't worked that well. Six days from the election and the Republicans are still trailing.

In individual races, the mud bucket has been dragged out and the mud is freely flying. This one hates women - wrote dirty books. That one may have italian mafia connections. And it goes on, but hasn't worked that well. Six days from the election and the Republicans are still trailing.

So why the jump on the joke? The Republicans have nothing else to run on. The Iraq war is a mess, and Republicans have been told to steer clear of it during their campaigns. (They cut and ran from the Iraq issue.) With Bush working hard to connect Iraq to the War on Terror - well the Republicans can't talk about the War on Terror without bringing up Iraq.

Security? Not good. This brings up questions about why our ports are still wide open. Why our borders are wide open, and what are they going to do about illegal immigrants?

The Economy? Yes, the stock markets are up - but if it doesn't "trickle down" into 90% of the population - then the economy isn't that good for the vast majority.

But a Joke?? There's an issue they can get their tusks into. Vote Republican - we tell better jokes. It appears, that for the remaining 6 days - the Republicans will be running on a joke. Should the Republicans retain total Congressional control because they are joke critics - then the joke is on us.

Comments: Looks like Kerry is going to help you boys out! He stuck his foot in his mouth all the way down to his crotch!! Then he doesn't have the smarts to properly tell the joke he MEANT to tell, just babbles on about how "he owes no apology" The Demrats are NOT THE PARY of the best and brightest. No NEW IDEAS, just whine/bitch/attack! Lots o' luck, chumps.
